my guts feeling tells me that introducing such a method is a bad thing, 
mainly because
one breaks the exchangebility of the data repo implementation. It 
doesn't hurt the API or anything like that, but
it somehow encourages "bad behaviour". WDOT?

As said I would rather first talk to the xuggle guys, especially since 
they really seem to be into Open Source.
